Akodo Hachigoro vs a Naval Attack/Battle

L5R CCG Rules board, 27 June 2007

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Akodo Hachigoro ( http://www.thelionclan.com/swiftsword/v ... .php?t=297)

Ability:

Reaction: If you are attacking, after armies at Hachigoro's battlefield engage: You may target one of the Defenders units, move it to Hachigoro's battlefield, and straighten it. You have the first oppurtunity to take a battle action or pass this battle.

Does This Make it so you can take the first action even if a Naval battle is Declared?

In Samurai Edition, there's no such thing as a Naval invasion any more. Reactions are no longer prohibited.
